On the heels of a similar deal with Yahoo buying Summly last month for around the same price, Google has apparently bought out Seattle-based newsfeed company Wavii for over $30 million, the Seattle Times reports. The company uses natural-language processing to generate newsfeed summaries of stories reported elsewhere, similar to Summly. Apple was said to have also been interested in acquiring the service, and allegedly engaged in a brief bidding war with Google for it, apparently wanting to integrate the service into Siri.
